North Korea Targets London Hair Salon Over Kim Haircut Ad

Do not insult the Great Leader.

British police said Tuesday they had intervened after North Korean embassy officials reportedly told a London hairdresser to take down a discount haircuts advert featuring leader Kim Jong-Un.

Mo Nabbach told the London Evening Standard newspaper that two officials from the Stalinist state's mission took pictures of the M&M Hair Academy in Ealing, west London.

They then ordered him to remove the "disrespectful" poster, he said.

The poster featured a large picture of Kim's distinctive short-back-and-sides hairdo with the slogan: read: "Bad hair day? 15 percent off all gent cuts through the month of April."

"I told them this is England and not North Korea and told them to get their lawyers," the newspaper quoted Nabbach as saying.

"The two guys were wearing suits and they were very serious. It was very threatening."
